Chapter 432 Divine Arrow
Shen Mu said affirmatively: "Brother Peng, please tell me it's okay, as long as Lao Ba wakes up, we can find a way to deal with big things."

Yue Kepeng pondered for a while, and said, "Have you heard of Fu Nanda?"

Xu Ziling said: "Are you inciting Funanda, the 'crazy monk from India' who worshiped the Ziting and established the country?"

Yue Kepeng's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said fiercely: "It is this person. Seven years ago, this person went to TLF to preach, and he fought against the leaders of Manichaeism and Nestorianism. Approved, and established the Tianzhu religion. At that time, he was not called Fu Nanda, his whole face was covered by a shaggy beard, and he called himself a bitter monk. At that time, everyone thought he was a holy monk with profound Dharma. Adhere to obedience, who knows... Alas!"

Shen Mu said: "Brother Peng, is he one of the deceived?"

Yue Kepeng said: "At that time I was still young, and my parents were Nestorians, so I was not deceived. But the royal families of all countries regarded him as a god, offered gold and treasures under his clever name, and asked their children to follow him to practice the law until the Manicheism The sudden sudden death of the leader of the two sects of Nestorianism and Nestorianism led some people to suspect that he was the murderer, but it was a step too late. He took a large amount of treasure and fled without a trace, and found that a large number of beautiful female believers were killed by him by practicing the law This matter caused an uproar, and the former king was blamed by everyone for recommending him wholeheartedly, and died in grief and indignation. We people in Che Shi Kingdom will never forget this enmity."

Xu Ziling asked, "How many countries does TLF have?"

Yue Kepeng replied: "There are eight countries in total, the most powerful is our Cheshiqian country, the others are Cheshihou country and the six countries in Shanbei. Two years ago, someone from us went to Longquan to do business, and happened to meet Fu Nanda, Even though he had shaved off his beard, he was still recognizable at a glance."

Shen Mu suddenly said: "You are here in the name of giving gifts, but you are actually going to find Fu Nanda to settle accounts. According to my opinion, Bai Ziting is not a good person, and in all likelihood, he will be in collusion with Fu Nanda. Deceive your wealth for the founding of the country."

Xu Ziling said: "This kind of obscene monk will be punished if anyone gets it, let alone Brother Peng's matter. We will never stand by and watch."

Yue Kepeng smiled bitterly and said: "The question is whether we can pass the first hurdle, which is to send the congratulatory gifts to Longquan. Because Hu Yanjin, the most notorious horse thief leader in Khitan, has the full support of Abaojia, the most powerful Khitan, and vows to intercept the robbery." A congratulatory gift from us to Longquan."

Shen Mu said: "Brother Peng bypasses Khitan, won't the problem be solved?"

Yue Kepeng sighed: "If you don't go through Khitan, you have to go through Shiwei. I heard that the Shiwei people formed an alliance with the Khitan people because they opposed worshiping the Ziting. It is said that Shen Mohuan in the southern Shiwei is more difficult to deal with than Huyanjin. "

Shen Mu happily said: "Then it's better to go around Shiwei and lure Shen Mohuan out of the thief's den, because we are looking for him."

Kezhuan frowned and said, "We don't know the way there."

Xu Ziling didn't want to affect other people's plans because of his own selfishness, so he hurriedly said, "No problem, you all follow the established route!"

Yue Kepeng said embarrassingly: "I haven't asked the two why you came to the grassland yet?"

Shen Mu said with a headache: "Originally, I just wanted to get back [-] sheepskins that were robbed by a certain party, but the development of the matter is complicated. Brother Peng suddenly asked, so I really don't know where to start."

Yue Kepeng said, "Eighty thousand sheepskins is not a small amount, so who is it?"

Shen Mu said: "It was bought from Huihe people with Baiziting as the middleman."

Ke Zhuan looked at Yue Kepeng in shock, and hesitated to speak.The latter nodded slightly, and said: "The same thing happened to us. About three years ago, we bought a hundred carts of famous rice paddy from Baiziting, but were robbed at night on the way! A few people were lucky escaped, and the others were brutally killed. All along, we only thought that we met a horse thief and did not suspect Baiziting, it seems that it is not as simple as imagined."

The two looked at each other, Shen Mu gritted his teeth and said, "We never doubted him, hum! If you get evidence for me, I will turn his founding ceremony into a funeral."

Yue Kepeng and Ke Zhuan only thought that he was speaking in anger, but how could they guess that he had a close relationship with Tuli and that he really had the power to overthrow Sumo Mohe.

Yue Kepeng poked his head out, showing a firm expression of vowing to achieve the goal, and said: "From tonight onwards, we will be brothers who will fight side by side, and we will live and die together and never give up."

Shen Mu stretched out his hand to hold him tightly, and said: "No matter how difficult it is, we will definitely seek justice from Fu Nanda for your country."

Xu Ziling followed closely behind Shen Mu and clasped the clasped hands of the two of them, saying: "On the prairie, deceitful monks are never allowed to run rampant."

Kezhuan also joined the ranks of shaking hands and making oaths, and the four felt very excited.

The howling of wolves in the distance reminded them that the seemingly peaceful and beautiful prairie is actually a crisis lurking and the road ahead is difficult.

When the two returned to the tent, Ba Fenghan was still in a state of deep sleep in reclining meditation.

After Shen Mu felt his pulse, he said joyfully: "Although Tianzhu produces obscene monks who preach the Dharma, it also produces the genuine Dafa of Changing the Sun. There are only two main veins left in the old postscript that are not connected, which is really unbelievable."

Xu Ziling said happily: "These two days will be critical moments, we will never allow Lao Ba to suffer any external harm."

Shen Mu said: "Tomorrow we will enter the Khitan's sphere of influence, and there is no room for loss. So we must sleep well now. Sigh! How many nights have we not slept?"

Xu Ziling blew out the horn lantern and said, "In your opinion, the wolf bandit is a worshiper of Ziting, and even Duan Xu or someone called Guan Ping is also a running dog to collect money for him?"

Shen Mu let out a breath and said, "If you're right, then Da Mingzun should have the same nostrils as Bai Ziting. Damn it! We'll go to Longquan to make him turn upside down. After teaching Bai Ziting and that obscene monk Not having a good time."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "You seem to have forgotten another headache. Mother's country, Goryeo, is supporting Bai Ziting with all its strength. If we intervene in sabotage, the hatred with my aunt will deepen."

Shen Mu thought of Fu Junqiang, a beautiful young lady who appeared in the Shanhaiguan Pass, and disappeared, holding his head and sighing: "We can only see walking, alas! Let's talk when we wake up!"

The soldiers in front shouted angrily, and the convoy stopped. Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, who were sitting next to each other in the mule cart, looked at each other and knew that something unusual had happened.

I just set off at dawn this morning, and I only have a few hours to go so far. Unless something special happens, I shouldn't stop.They didn't dare to get out of the car to see what happened, for fear that the people blocking the way would be people from Dunyugu-Fang.Ba Fenghan was at the most critical stage of his martial arts, any disturbance might make it difficult for him to complete his martial arts, so the two of them were very careful.

Not long after Yue Kepeng came to the rear of the car, Shen Mu removed the tarpaulin and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yue Kepeng said solemnly: "Three freshly cut off bloody wolf heads are hung on three long wooden poles in front of them. These are the marks of the Khitan Huyanjin deterring the prairie 'Blood Wolf Seal'. If anyone who sees the wolf heads does not immediately Leave all your treasures by the wolf pole, and they'll kill each other."

Shen Mu frowned and said, "When do they usually attack?"

Yue Kepeng said: "It's hard to say. Sometimes they will attack immediately, or they will kill you suddenly after you have been worried for many days."

Xu Ziling said, "Brother Peng, what are your plans?"

Yue Kepeng said: "Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered Yanyuan, it would be decorated with Huyan gold. Now I have to be more vigilant, soldiers will block it, and water will cover it."

Both Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were in a bad mood. There was no danger to defend on the grassland, and they had to take care of Ba Fenghan and a large number of congratulatory gifts. As long as the other party came with thousands of people and attacked from all directions, what should they do?

Shen Mu shook his head, and said, "Let's go outside to drive the mule cart, so we can fight back when we find it."

The convoy continued on the road, Shen Mu and Xu Ziling replaced the mules with three precious horses, sat in the driver's seat of the carriage, and drove forward with the convoy, passing by three hideous and pitiful wolf heads on high hanging poles. Se still had a frightening sense of uneasiness.

Xu Ziling took the Death Moon Bow given to Ba Fenghan and got ready for battle.

Yanyuan is still so green and charming, but the atmosphere of the convoy has changed. This group of dead men who traveled thousands of miles from Che Shi to Longquan to take revenge, under a state of high alert, no longer have the relaxed and freehand look they used to have.

The Yanhe River appeared ahead and meandered away. Yue Kepeng ordered the convoy to drive along the river to reduce the possibility of the enemy attacking from the north.In the vast wilderness, except for wild animals, there are no traces of people.

This does not reassure everyone. Huyanjin from Khitan, Shenmohuan from Shiwei, and Han Chaoan from Goryeo are the three most notorious horse thieves on the prairie. No one knows when and where they will suddenly appear.

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said: "I think there will be a day when my two brothers are waiting for the end like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. If we can fight alone with Hu Yanjin, I will be willing to lose ten years of my life."

Xu Ziling looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "We can only see walking. This will be the toughest battle since Helen Fort. If you really can't resist it, you have to give up your belongings and run away until Lao Ba wakes up. Then find Huyanjin to settle the score."

After two hours without any danger, but everyone's heart was turbulent, the convoy stopped again.

The leader, Yue Kepeng, rode up to the two people sitting in the carriage, and said: "There is a dense forest blocking the road ahead, should we set up camp early, or continue on our way while there are still two hours of sunshine?"

A dense forest ahead grew along the river, and the terrain began to be undulating. In this situation where the vegetation is full of soldiers and the wind is jittery, it is understandable that Yue Kepeng is afraid of this dense forest where the enemy can hide.

Shen Mu resolutely said: "The enemy will come sooner or later, and it is better to come sooner than later. If I were Huyanjin, I would definitely not attack tonight when we are leaning against the river and waiting in full force. But we have to wait for the next attack. I don't feel good If you sleep hard all night, you will still have to face the current dilemma in the morning."

Yue Kepeng said: "It makes sense. We simply avoid this forest area and pass through the hilly area overnight. Maybe we can get rid of the enemy."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Huyanjin should be in the dense forest."

Yue Kepeng was stunned and said, "Brother Xu, how can you be so sure."

Shen Mu didn't want to waste his time explaining that Xu Ziling had an extraordinary spiritual sense, and said, "Because that's the best place to ambush us. Of course Hu Yanjin, who knows this area well, won't miss it."

Yue Kepeng suddenly became arrogant, laughed and said: "Come on! I want to teach Hu Yanjin that we Cheshi people are not easy to bully."

He galloped along the team, and gave orders in the words of the chariot master to motivate his soldiers. When he returned to the head of the team, the team deviated from Yanhe and made a detour.

Shen Mu said to Xu Ziling: "Brother Peng is indeed a talent with a good heart, we must try to save his life no matter what."

Xu Ziling sighed: "It's useless for you to save his life. If he loses his life, how can he go back and explain to the king? It's better to die in battle and die with honor."

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Is there any way to have the best of both worlds, which can save people without losing property?"

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I hope only a few hundred people will come, so let's counterattack first and cut off Huyanjin's dog's head."

The sun descended to the western horizon, and the prairie paved with red and green was covered with a layer of reddish glow, and the gentle wind was blowing, like a scroll of embroidered landscapes, but inside it was full of dangers.

A boundless silence permeates the vast world in front of you, the green forest stretches to the left, and the hills in front of you undulate and extend like ripples, dotted with scattered trees.

When the two of them couldn't think of a good way, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded, and countless Khitan horse bandits with black scarves and battle armor rushed out from the dense forest on the left, and came all over the mountains and plains from half a mile away, shouting to kill. sky.Fortunately, this side of the car had been prepared for a long time, and immediately formed a circular formation. The soldiers hid behind the car, bent their bows and set arrows, and protected the camels on the other side.

Suddenly there was also a loud noise of killing in front, a group of horse thieves appeared from behind the hills, divided into two groups, one group directly attacked the head of the team, and the other group surrounded the right side.

Shen Mu gasped and said, "They have at least 3000 people."

How can this battle be fought?
Even if Shen Mu and Xu Ziling could break through the siege, Ba Fenghan and Yue Kepeng would all be finished.

Seeing the enemy's earth-shattering and terrifying offensive, the blood on the faces of Yue Kepeng and others faded away. What they faced was not just a ferocious horse thief, but an army that could destroy the country.With the power of a few hundred people in their area, they can only block the traffic with their arms.

The Khitan horse bandits kept approaching.

Shen Mu suddenly shouted: "Brother Peng! Withdraw immediately, see you in Longquan."

As soon as the whip was struck, the three horses rushed out of the chariot formation in pain, and rushed obliquely to the northeast corner where the enemy's forces were weakest, which was the middle of the enemy rushing from the dense forest and hills.

When even Xu Ziling, like Yue Kepeng, thought that Shen Mu was disrespectful and ran away on his own, Shen Mu shouted: "Master Ling! Colorful stone!"

Xu Ziling came to his senses, jumped up and climbed onto the roof of the car, shouting, "Go and throw away the goods!"

Shen Mu said: "It's too late!" Grabbing a barrel of arrows with each hand, carrying them on his back, he rushed forward and landed on Qianlimeng who was leading the cart. It shot towards the enemies on both sides like a string of beads.

The divine arrows with red flames and fire shadows enveloped the sky, killing the enemy's corpses all over the field, blood flowed into rivers, and retreated steadily.

Half a month later, the three of them came to Hualinji, located on the south bank of the Songhua River. The river was wide and calm, and the hills in the gathering area were undulating. The earthen houses in the form of Tongwan were scattered for tens of miles. Camps can be seen everywhere, and the earthen houses are gray and yellow. , with the densest area near the river, forming the only street in Hualin Collection.

There are more than a dozen rafts floating on the river, and the fishermen cast their nets to catch fish.

People and horses come and go on the shore, and the lively place is not inferior to Yanyuanji.The three of them entered the market area, because they were driving more than 40 saddled war horses, which attracted the attention of people from all ethnic groups, not to mention that Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were dressed in rare Han Chinese clothes.

Shen Mu sighed, "It's indeed a place with a beautiful view, what kind of delicious fish are we going to eat later?"

Ba Fenghan happily said: "You can choose from silver carp, crucian carp, carp, green scales, etc. My younger brother is only fond of green scales, the meat is extremely delicious, so I must relive the old dream."

Xu Ziling was always casual about eating and drinking, and cared about other things, so he asked: "We have brought so many horses, and they are unable to move around. Can we sell them immediately?"

There were a large number of cattle and sheep ahead, and more than a dozen shepherds were rushing to the market in Jidong, blocking the road, forcing them to follow slowly.

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "Frankly speaking, my younger brother has never done this kind of business, I just took it for granted that if it is sold at a low price in the market, it should be easy to sell."

Shen Mu said enthusiastically: "The reason why we do this business is to make publicity, and we can simply sell one horse for a penny, and it is guaranteed to immediately stir up the entire Hualin Collection."

He asked again, "Where is the clothes maker?"

Ba Fenghan said: "When you get to the main street, you need an iron shop and a clothes shop, but there is no place to live. People who come here have to prepare their own tents." He patted the horse's head and avoided the cattle , turn onto Main Street.

There are several rows of irregular houses on the left and right sides. They are indeed various shops for people to shop. They are very lively. It seems that as long as you are willing to open the door, business will come in.

The avenue is spacious and open. The green grass turned into loess under the ravages of the horseshoe wheels. The horseshoes kicked up dust, and the whole street was as yellow as mist and smoke.

It can hold thirty horses side by side, and the elm trees on both sides of the main street are lined up like umbrellas, and there are wooden sheds outside the earthen shops, and tables and chairs are placed in the sheds, and tired people can sit in them. Resting, the horse is tied to the wooden bar outside the shed.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling felt so fresh, they couldn't take their eyes off of them, suddenly more than a dozen long-haired and shawl-armed Wei Dahan rushed out from the side shed, blocking the way with unfriendly expressions.

The three of them were stunned, could it be that the enemy knew how to wait for them here after being well informed.

One of the Chinese shouted with a halberd in Turkic language: "Look where you two horse thieves have escaped to?"

More than a dozen people pulled out their sabers at the same time, their movements were uniform, and they were definitely not a mob.

Pedestrians on the street have long been accustomed to this kind of street fights, they only avoided a few, and gathered in the distance to watch the excitement.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling felt that Shi Weihan who spoke was very familiar, but for a while they couldn't remember where they had seen him before, and they felt that there was something hidden about the actions of all the men blocking the way.

Ba Fenghan thought that the other party was standing up for the Khitan people, he felt strange, and said with a smile: "These horses belong to Hu Yanjin, when will it be your Shiwei's turn to stand up for him, if you don't go away, don't blame me, Ba Feng There is no mercy under the cold sword."

Shen Mu suddenly remembered that Shi Weihan who spoke was the one who stabbed him before he met Xieli.Because I didn't take it to heart, I almost forgot about it.

A burst of charming laughter came from the left side of the shed, and he said in Turkic language: "Ba Fenghan, who is famous in the grassland, is mixed with two Han people who steal horses, aren't you afraid of being ashamed?"
